      A good organisation that does make a difference, however in a work environment that is challenging and not stimulating.

      An opportunity to learn.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working at one of the most active UN organs, you are constantly exposed to different world crises, there is an excellent team at the Tokyo office that guides you through your work, and gives you feedback when necessary

      Cons

      A bit slow when there is no crisis, or when there is a crisis, things get very busy and you are not fully sure of what exactly you should be doing

      WFP is not a bad place to work, but work environment represent general moribund United Nations style.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary is excellent especially taking into account that it is a tax free income.

      Cons

      Typical moribund United Nations approach. Those with good connections in their governments and respective embassies - get jobs and go up very fast, those without - are constantly kept either on short term consultancy contracts or as G staff (administrative assistants).
